This series includes maps annotated by Parsons, likely for use in calculating routes for his flights. Areas covered are primarily NWT communities (including eastern Arctic/present-day Nunavut), but also include northern Alberta, Yukon, British Columbia, Alaska, and Greenland.

The fonds consists of 16.5 cm of textual records, 23 colour slides, and 20 maps created, collected, and used by Parsons during the course of his career as a pilot. The textual records include correspondence, certifications, exams and study notes for various aircraft, and records of training and flights taken. The slides appear to relate to his flights in the Arctic and show a number of unidentified people and communities. The cartographic material consists of maps, which Parsons used as working documents to plan routes.
